Chairman Kashmir Committee, Hamid Nasir Chattha has said the Pak-India joint statement reflected no major breakthrough on Kashmir and still it indicated a better situation for the progress of composite dialogue.
"The statement reflects no major breakthrough in the meeting, but perhaps, a better situation may have surfaced" Chattha told Voice of America (VoA).
He said that the statement indicated that how and on what level the Kashmiris would be included in the dialogue process.
To a question he said there could be many options for the solution of Kashmir but Kashmiri people might not agree to any other than the plebiscite.
Chattha said that whatever importance the issue of Kashmir had achieved that day, was because of the struggle of Kashmiri people. Pakistan had supported them morally, politically and diplomatically he said adding the world had also supported Kashmiris regarding human rights violation there.
But the progress and international pressure we want on India for holding plebiscite was not there, he said.
He said that they had hope from the European Union (EU) and expected that soon the OIC and the UN would exert pressure on India to deliver the right of self-determination of Kashmiri people.
He urged that Kashmiris should be included in the dialogue otherwise the people whose fate was to be decided would not be a part of the process.
To another question chairman Kashmir Committee said that it would be premature to ask for a third party mediation adding rather the international community was expected to exert pressure on India to implement the UN resolutions to which it had also signed.
"We may have to go for third party mediation if it is needed," he said.
